between the Special Envoy of Mexico and the State Department of the

Written and published by Manuel Eduardo de Gorostiza, special envoy
of Mexico to the United States, this pamphlet contains a 21-page
introduction attacking the good faith of the United States in
sending its troops across the Sabine as far as Nacogdoches.
Gorostiza's commentary was bitterly resented in Washington and fuel
was added to the flames when the diatribe was republished in
Mexico, early in 1837. The reprint led to a rapid deterioration of
diplomatic relations with Mexico which did not resume until 1839,
following a renouncement of the inflammatory comments made by
Gorostiza by the then-serving Mexican special envoy to Washington.
A most important pamphlet attacking the good faith of the U.S. in
sending Gaines across the Sabine to occupy Nacogdoches. Brown
half-leather with tan canvas boards, gilt-lettered spine. In fine
condition. From the collection of Darrel Brown.

Consign to the 2019 September 14 - 15 Americana & Political The David and Janice Frent Collection of Political & Presidential Americana 8 - Dallas.
